Why was this petition rejected?

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Referrals and choosing where to have treatment should be discussed with a GP, specialist multidisciplinary team, or other healthcare professional.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
